Introducing Custom Stock Status for Magento 2

Section

The Get Product Status extension for Magento 2 presents a customizable block for a stock status display based on specific conditions. With the extension you 

  • Display stock statuses oncategory and product pages, and in a shopping cart;
  • Indicate product quantity and quantity ranges as triggers for rule application;
  • Use icons, images, and text for a stock status block;
  • Allow customers to subscribe to back-in-stock notifications;
  • Select templates for back-in-stock and low-stock alerts.

Supported product types

Section
  • Simple: the status is displayed on the catalog and product page
  • Configurable: the status is displayed on the catalog and product page when a customer has configured a product (e.g. a certain child product was selected)
  • Grouped: not supported, i.e. the status on the product page is not displayed. However, the stock status will be displayed on the cart page because children are considered as separate products;
  • Bundle: not supported.
  • Downloadable/virtual / Gift Card with quantity: The status is displayed on the cart page or in mini cart, because these are the only places where the quantity of items of these product types can be edited;

Extension configuration

...

To start working with Magento 2 Custom Stock Status configure the basics of the extension. Follow Stores > Configuration > Aheadworks extensions > Custom Stock Status. 

Stock Status Block Settings

First of all, decide whether the Custom Stock Status will be displayed along with the default Stock Status. Enable the option if you need both the stock statuses to cover for each other in case of some issues occurred

The 'Display mode' field defines the options for stock status block customization while creating a rule.

  • 'Text and Icon' allows using icons next to the block.
  • 'Text and image' adds a field for image inserting. 

Display settings help to select where to show custom stock status besides a product page. The 'Category Page' and 'Shopping Cart' options are available for adding.

Notification Settings

The 'Notification Settings' section contains low stock alert & back-in-stock notification configuration.

The notification sender email is specified in a corresponding field.

If the back-in-stock subscription is enabled customers will see a related button next to an out-of-stock product. The notification request pop-up appears upon clicking the button. If you want to display your store Private Policy link in the pop-up choose the relevant option. Also, it is p[ossible to specify the destination of the link in the 'Privacy Policy CMS Page' field.

Low Stock Alert Quantity is the number of products left in stock that triggers low stock alert sending.

Templates for both back-in-stock and low stock alert emails can be selected here in the section.

  1. Product quantity field allows setting up the display mode based on several parameters:
    1. less than - the current display mode will be applied if the product quantity is less than a particular number; 
    2. greater than - the current display mode will be applied if the product quantity is greater than a particular number; 
    3. equals or less than - the current display mode will be applied if the stock item quantity matches the number inserted in the field or is less than the number; 
    4. equals or greater than - the current display mode will be applied if the stock item quantity matches the number inserted in the field or is less than the number; 
    5. range - the current display mode will be applied if the stock item quantity is within a particular number range you specify in the fields 'from' & 'to'. 
  2. 'Custom Stock Status Text' is a field for adding a text message on stock status. 
  3. 'Upload image/icon' are boxes for visualizing stock status. They can be added via the drag-and-drop functionality or the standard upload window.
Note

Icon and image display is closely related to the 'Display Mode' setting in the extension configuration section. If you choose 'text & icon' mode no image will be shown. If you settle on the 'text & image' option the icon display will become unavailable.
